Like any technology space, eCommerce is full of industry-specific terminology. The more cynical call them buzzwords.

You can apply this logging strategy to a standard Java application or to a Mozu Java SDK application.

It goes almost without saying that the mobile commerce revolution is underway. Many would argue we are post revolution and just living in the new reality of mobile. Billions of smartphones connect users to exactly what they want instantly.

Like every New Year, 2016 will bring many sales tax changes. Rates will decrease or increase, there’ll be new product taxability rules, exemptions will expire or take effect, and there will be reporting changes. The only thing certain when it comes to sales tax is that change happens. And if often happens without much warning.

As part of our continued improvements to the Mozu platform, we have launched updated reporting tools to our updated Admin. We wanted to give business users a quick glance review of your commerce activity. Plus, it also gives you the ability to export the data with these tools in order to do your own analysis in spreadsheets or to be imported into other systems for deeper analysis.
